We hope everyone who went gliding enjoyed themselves. We had great weather for it; not to cold, hardly any clouds, and not too windy! Some cadets were even lucky enough to go up twice. Even a couple parents went up too! WEDNESDAY, 9 NOVEMBER 2011 As Remembrance Day is approaching, we will be having a guest speaker coming for this weeks training night .

This Gliding Day will run the same way as our previous Gliding Day in October;> Parents must transport their cadets TO and FROM CFD Mountainview. > Please Sign-Up Wednesday night for the time you prefer (0900 hrs - 1230 hrs OR 1230 hrs - 1600 hrs). > The Sign-Up sheet will be posted on the rolling white board at the entrance. > Temperatures on the Airfield are often quite cool and windy and Temperatures in the glider are much colder. Please Dress Appropriately!! > Washrooms are available.> It may be a good idea to eat breakfast/lunch before arriving. > Bring your own water to drink. POPPY DAY - FRIDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2011 Poppy Day is similar to Tag Day where Cadets will go to a store and hand out poppies to those in need (preferably for a donation). We are 'selling' poppies for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 99 Belleville. "All poppy money collected by a Legion branch stays within that local community and pays for medical equipment, home services and long-term care facilities for ex-service people in need of financial assistance."
